Just as Sunny had suspected, that True Name hid many meanings. It didn't describe a star that was always changing, but instead a star that caused change. However, there were a lot of words for change in the runic language, each hiding a unique meaning.

So, in a sense, Nephis was neither a Star of Change nor a Star of Ruin, but both; the two went hand in hand, inseparable, destined to bring both salvation and damnation to those touched by her light.
…Just like what had happened to the doomed Dreamers of the Dark City.
The Spell was really good at giving names, it seemed.

Rank: Dreamer.
Class: Demon.
Soul Cores: [3/7].
Soul Fragments: [2749/3000].
